A year ago this week, I packed up my life and hit the road, cruising cross-country in my older (but still kickin’) F150, hauling a U-Haul from San Francisco all the way to Huntsville. Yup, four days, 24 hours of driving, and one blissful stop in Colorado later, I made it. That truck? She’s old but fierce—just like me. Now, don’t let anyone fool you, life is no fairy tale. For every win, there’s a facepalm moment. But hey, this is social media—who really talks about that stuff, right? Well, I do. Because guess what? Failing is part of the game, and it just means you’re getting closer to leveling up. Shutting down life and business in California was no fun, but moving the company to the South was a game-changer. It’s like stepping into the epicenter of everything cool in manufacturing and transportation. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, VW, Kia, Hyundai, BMW, FedEx, Boom… you name it, they’re all here. But who’s gonna have our back the most? The *start-ups*, the *dreamers*, the Gen X leaders who are making things happen and taking names. So, here’s the deal—life's a ride, and yeah, there will be bumps (and maybe a flat tire or two). But you’ve got this! Keep hustling, keep dreaming, and remember, failures are just plot twists in your success story. Now go make some noise! 🚀💥 #DreamBig #EntrepreneurLife #NoLimits #GetItDone
